Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour Coming to York Technical College

October 16, 2009

ROCK HILL—The spirit of American entrepreneurism is alive and well, and poised to take Rock Hill’s youth by storm on Wednesday, October 21. On that date, the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour—the first ever collegiate entrepreneur tour—will be visiting the York Technical College campus. York Tech is committed to helping both its students and members of the community succeed in the changing economy, and both are invited to take part in the day’s events, which begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 1:45 p.m. at the Baxter Hood Center.

The Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour is presented by VenturePort.org and sponsored by Inc. magazine. Founded by 25-year-olds Michael Simmons and Sheena Lindahl of Extreme Entrepreneurship Education, the tour is comprised of many of America’s top young entrepreneurs who've made, earned, or sold a company for millions and/or made a huge impact before the age of 30. The vision of the tour is for all of America’s college students to graduate with an entrepreneurial mindset.

This event will provide inspiration and practical advice. Both emerging entrepreneurs and students of all disciplines are invited to attend to learn how they can apply the entrepreneurial mindset to their lives regardless of career choice.

Wednesday's event is sponsored by the Business Department of York Technical College. For more information about the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour, visit www.extremetour.org or contact York Technical College Business Department Manager Ivan Lowe at (803) 981-7387 or ilowe@yorktech.com.
